Call your Porsche Dealer. In the US you would pay around $100-125 to repair a scratch like this.

I disagree 100%. A good wheel repair service can fix MUCH worse damage, and you would never know there had been an issue.

Drive around or call a dealership during the week and find a wheel repair guy working the lot. He should be able to repair it in 20 mins. They don't even need to pull the tire. Cost depends on area you live in. $50-150

Don't repaint, do the repair. A competent repairer can make it look like nothing ever happened. Don't know how they do it, seems like magic.
